To play Together
To exchange
To divide to help

Some sense is required to accept poems. It is not easy in Japanese, let alone in other languages!!

Soigner, innit?
Hmm. Haven't had to use the French lingo in a loooong time, but here's my attempt:
Good friends
Talk with you
Listen to you
Play together
Exchange
Share
Help one another
Are there (for you)
Care would probably have to translate with "taking care of something or someone"; "Prendre soin de..."
It may have been awkward to fit the French phrase in time with the music. Perhaps the line "Are there (for you)" covers that idea?
It's a nice song in any language :)
Can I send you my translation?
I guess you need to keep the grammatical point (use of reflexive verbs) and sound right sung in French.
